Configuring a page to execute a script automatically

From DataMiner 10.1.1/10.2.0 onwards, it is possible to have a script executed automatically either when a specific value changes or when a specific event occurs on the page.

Configuring a page to execute a script when a specific value changes

On page level, add a shape data field of type Execute, and specify a value in the following format:

Script:ScriptName|DummyName=ElementName or DmaID/ElementID;...| ParameterName1=[var:myVar];ParameterName2=#ValueFile;...| MemoryName=MemoryFileName;...|ToolTip|Options|Trigger=ValueChanged

Note

Instead of Trigger=ValueChanged, you can also specify SetTrigger=ValueChanged.

For more information about this syntax, see Linking a shape to an Automation script

If a value changes that affects any of the input specified in this syntax (e.g. a dummy or parameter), the script will be triggered.

Configuring a page to execute a script when an event occurs on the page

On page level, add a shape data field of type Execute, and specify a value in the following format:

Script:ScriptName|DummyName=ElementName or DmaID/ElementID;...| ParameterName1=[var:myVar];ParameterName2=#ValueFile;...| MemoryName=MemoryFileName;...|ToolTip|Options|Trigger=Event

Note

Instead of Trigger=Event, you can also specify SetTrigger=Event.

For more information about this syntax, see Linking a shape to an Automation script

For example, with the configuration below, double-clicking a node in an embedded service definition will trigger an Automation script that takes the node ID as a parameter.

Shape data field	Value
Execute	Script:<myScript>|Parameters:IDParam=[event:NodeDoubleClicked,ID]|Options:<possibleOptions>|Trigger=Event
